“Very flexible in scheduling visits, a very nice and friendly personality, took detailed notes on his visits, and was very loving and friendly to my dog. He is the first person I go to if I need someone to check in on my dog.”
“Alexandra is a great Dogwalker. As soon as the car pulls up, Finn is whining at the front door for me to let her in. That says a lot for me. When we open the door, he runs out to greet her so so happy!”
About: Hello! My name is McKenzie! I’m a pre-med student and animal lover looking to earn some extra funds for medical school. I’ve had my own dog since he was a puppy (he's now 8 years old!). Because he has a daily medication schedule, I am experienced and comfortable handling any medical or dietary needs your dog might have. I am currently home full time and am available for daily drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and will accept last minute bookings for no additional costs from my end. I’m currently working part time online so I will have plenty of time to play with your puppies and check in on them! I am available everyday at any time since I work online. I ensure pet safety through constant supervision, secure spaces, and by following your specific guidelines. I will take them on daily walks and doggy parks (if you wish for the parks).
“Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.”
“It's been such a joy working with Michaela. My dog has been loving his daily walks with her and its been lovely having the peace of mind that he is well taken care of. Her communication is excellent and I enjoy receiving her pictures of his walks. Thank you Michaela!”
About: I am an over the top dog mom of three that just moved back to Richmond from Florida. I have two rescue dogs, a labradoodle, and a cat. All three different dog breeds, ages, backgrounds, and temperaments. I was born into a dog family, so being taught to care for dogs is in my DNA. I’ve been volunteering in rescue since I was a teenager. Your pet will receive the same over the top crazy dog mom care that my own pets get! They’ll always be safe with me. I own my own small massage business, so I have a very flexible work schedule. I have long breaks and plenty of time to pop in and spend time with your furry friends! I will follow all instructions to a T and I will double check everything. I am a very good read on dog behavior and will never make your dog uncomfortable. I have a very calming presence as I have four animals of my own and it comes very naturally to me.
“Devin was a life saver squeezing some dog walks in around the holidays. Thanks for being punctual & communicative about how things went Devin!”
About: I treat every furry friend like family! From playtime and cuddles to feeding and photo updates, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. 🐶🐱 I work full-time (8 AM–5 PM) on weekdays, so my availability is more limited during the week, but I’m much more flexible on weekends and holidays! 💕 Lots of love, gentle care, and happy tails guaranteed! 🐾 Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with care and respect, always following your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve personally have two dogs and one cat, but taken care of many more. Puppies, potty accidents, senior dogs, grouchy cats. I love them all! Looking to gain more professional experience with different animal personalities. I am a former dog foster for the Richmond SPCA and Beagles & Bentleys. My availability is mostly open during the week! For weekends, I might need request decently far an advance as I do Rover as my side job. My home has already been made pet friendly and has the space to accommodate 1-2 more pets (depending on size) as I do have two of my own. I like to get a sense of how the pet feels about his / my home to establish their level of comfortability and trust.
About: I grew up with a dog when I was really little. Growing up I dog sat and walked for my neighbors many times. Led me to be an all around animal lover, which is why I am an environmental studies major at VCU. Currently as college student at VCU(one class everyday Monday-Thursday), my weekends are usually open all day. I am used to waking up early but also very flexible. I like to take note of small habit and dos and don’ts to look back and be thorough in pet care. I am well versed in what dangerous for pets as I grew up with pets and have lived with both cats and dogs.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life: Owned 4 and raised/trained 16 service dogs in training for children with disabilities. I run half marathons, so I'll run with your pup if that's what they like! I have plenty of toys that I've collected over the years for your dog to play with! I love teaching dogs new tricks and commands, and would love to work with your fur baby so they can show you something special when you return! I take pictures constantly, so you will always have an update on your pup. I am comfortable with all breeds, and have the most experience with labs, goldens, and doodles. I am happy to give your pup a bath for a small fee so they come back to you looking and feeling great! I also have experience teaching basic commands to your dog, and would be more than happy to discuss training programs if that’s something you’re interested in! I also have experience with kittens and cats, having had 3 of my own. I'm comfortable with super friendly cats, or cats that want to keep to themselves. I will make sure your cat has food, water, and a clean litter box while you are away. In addition I can offer care for any gardens/houseplants that you have as well! While I work during the week, I am still committed to providing the best care for your pets. This will especially be true for pets that are use to having their people work during the day! This will provide a routine for your furry family member while you are away! While I live in an apartment, I am close to a park if your dog is friendly and enjoys going for walks! I am also very comfortable caring for cats and all that that entails while the cat stays in your home, usually where they are the most comfortable.
About: I'm a 33 year-old animal lover with a special place in my heart for bully breed dogs. I recently took over a year-long break from sitting through Rover after getting my own animals, but continued sitting for friends during that time. I'm so excited to be back on here! My favorite part of pet sitting is keeping or getting the animals on a set routine and learning their favorite toys and scratch spots, as it always helps with their adjustment from their parents being gone. I am big on walks with dogs and making sure I schedule play time throughout my work day to ensure your animals are getting enough attention and exercise. I currently work primarily from home, but must be in-office Wednesdays; which is why you'll find those days blocked off. If your animals are okay at home alone for work days, I'm happy to discuss the area I work in that way we can figure out whether or not the potential commute would leave your babies at home too long. I will do my best to make adjustments to meet the schedule of your pets, but will also be transparent if something comes up or if I don't feel the schedule can be accommodated. How you take care of your babies is how I strive to take care of them as well. I will work to keep them on their current schedules with walks, food, potty breaks, exercise, and attention. Please feel free to let me know if there is a favorite toy, favorite scratching spot, or favorite snack and I will make sure to prioritize those in their interactions with me to help them adjust.

I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication, accommodating quirky needs, and navigating sassy attitudes!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel Park
We absolutely adore Geri! From day one, she’s been incredible with our furry kids, and we couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and pet sitter. Our pups always come back happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. But the real miracle? Winning over our resident diva, Gigi! 😂 Gigi believes every interaction should begin with a few minutes of dramatic protests and attitude (she likes to keep everyone humble), but Geri never skips a beat. With so much patience, kindness, and consistency, she has completely won Gigi’s heart. Watching our little diva go from “Absolutely not!” to “Oh, it’s YOU!” has been nothing short of amazing. One of our favorite parts of the day is receiving the adorable photos Geri sends during their walks. They always brighten our day and reassure us that our furry kids are having the best time. You can genuinely see how happy, comfortable, and cared for they are. Geri is dependable, communicative, and truly treats our pets like family. It’s rare to find someone who not only provides exceptional care but also builds such a special bond with your animals. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets as if they were her own. Thank you, Geri, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family—and for somehow convincing our little diva that you’re actually one of her favorite humans! ❤️🐾
Steven has helped us a few times now. He is always extremely responsive, responsible and the dogs love him! (The cats don't talk as much but I'm pretty sure they think he's fine.) We are so grateful to have Steven to help us. He took our oldest dog out for a walk by herself and then came back and got the other, more rambunctious ones!
